I unloaded all my new floor stock into my storage facility today and looked at the label for the new Westwood Recliner that came in for stock. Amazingly enough I ordered it in <drumroll, please>.... PRAIRIE CARAMEL ! I kid you not. So, I guess I liked it when I saw it made up. Now if I could get some space on my sales floor I could unpack this and see what it's like!

LOL!! .... please post pics and a detailed review of the Prairie leather!
For now it will have to stay in the box in my small warehouse. I have several new pieces to display but can fit nothing more in my store right now.

Any chance you'll be unearthing that Westwood recliner in PRAIRIE CARAMEL anytime soon Duane? Sure would like to see pics and hear your thoughts!
As soon as I can get space on my floor for it. I kid you not, I don't have room to swing a cat in the store right now. (Cat lovers, that's a phrase, I don't really swing them). If you can get someone to come in and buy a floor model recliner (I have fifteen on the floor right now) then it will be unboxed and set up right away!

We live in a pretty rural area and the closest H&M dealer is a couple of hours away. We happened to be there today and found ourselves only 10 minutes or so from the store. We got to look at EVERY leather sample.... big ones too! We really liked the Tiburons, Mink and Java. Duane, we have changed our minds about doing a two-tone. I'm afraid we'd get really tired of it before too long. We have changed our mind about the Prairie and are leaning towards Tiburon, not sure which. The Mink is a beautiful color as is the Java. Does anyone by any chance have any pics of anything done in Java or Mink? Would love to see how they look. Also, what wood and nails would you suggest? We didn't get a chance to look at the wood samples at the shop, only looked at them online. First glance, I liked Chestnut and Waxed Pine. Thoughts?
Tiburon is a classic Italian pull-up hide, very rich and builds an excellent patina over time. Nail and wood finish depends on the frame used and the room they are going in and of course, personal preferences.
